Jamaica has all this bauxite. You use bauxite to make aluminum. So why can't they move up the value chain and start making aluminum and then making stuff that's made out of aluminum? Electricity is way too expensive. https://t.co/NbiIgmPVQW https://t.co/xoSL8YXYr5 — PolitiTweet.org

Inspired by a @Noahpinion post on Jamaica, I decided to do my own look at the problems of a middle-income island nation focusing on the energy scarcity that afflicts it and many other Caribbean islands. https://t.co/NbiIgmPVQW — PolitiTweet.org

There's no fossil fuel resources on Jamaica, and because even the larger Caribbean islands are pretty small they suffer diseconomies of scale in terms of importing them leading to low competition and high prices. https://t.co/NbiIgmPVQW https://t.co/MwUpeLbzPW — PolitiTweet.org
